Earlier this summer I was inspired by Mrs. Jump's blog She had posted reading strategies and clip art that went with each strategy. I loved it and immediately thought that I was definitely going to use it. But, then I realized that the strategies that my school uses are different from the ones on the blog.

So... I got my creative juices flowing and made strategy cards to go with the reading strategies that are used at my school. I think they turned out pretty cute too! What do you think?

I am going to hang the strategy cards on the bulletin board in my guided reading area as well as in my library corner.

Another thing I made was a strategy card to send home with my students in their repeated reading bag. That way they can have access to the same strategies at home as they do in school.

Another thing I plan to do with the strategies that are all on one page is laminate and cut them apart and then attach them to my guided reading table with velcro. That way I can take a strategy off and hand it to a student if I want them to use it, or I can take one off the table if they're using it too much (like the "guess" strategy!) I'll post a picture once I get into my classroom and have it all set up. :)
